Alpha

You are fighting Alpha.

The trion in your hand begins to vibrate more and more violently as a mote of light falls from the night sky. It grows closer and closer to you, eventually stopping to hover right above you.

The gale of wind sends the trion flying from your grip, but you're mostly distracted by the huge spaceship hovering above you.

Its speakers, which sound like an old human man for some reason, intone "Beginning life creation process... 1%... 2%... Warning! Organic contamination detected!" The way its optics (and lasers) swing to face you strongly implies it's talking about you.
Your opponent attacks ...

Following combat if the A Mysterious Ruin quest is active parts from Alpha are collected to advance along the progress of the quest.

If A Mysterious Ruin has begun and the Space Station is not yet built:
Some of these parts look like they use similar technology to that mysterious gate. You drop it off with Susan Novak to see if she can make anything of it.

If the Space Station is open but Fighting Robots has not yet started:
Some of these parts look like they're designed for use in deep space (or even DEEEEEEP SPAAAAAAACE). You drop them off at the space station, where they should find them useful.

If a wave of Fighting Robots has been completed:
Some of these parts... look like they're part of a distress beacon. You turn it off, but not before the signal gets out. That can't be good.
